Every student is unique.

So why are so many schools exactly the same? One isn't. At The Miami Valley School, we’re independent in our teaching and learning, and in our thinking and doing. For 50 years, our students have enjoyed the freedom to explore their world, in a community that encourages them to discover how to express themselves in it. It’s why students don’t just come to The Miami Valley School. Here, they become.

Helping students develop a deeper sense of self

The Miami Valley School prides itself on providing a holistic education for our students. In addition to their academic life, we also provide opportunities for social emotional learning, a variety of activities outside of class and programs that promote physical strength and wellness.

One of the hallmarks of the MVS experience is our desire for students to become compassionate global citizens. Beginning in first grade, our students participate in meaningful service projects. These activities help students cultivate a sense of empathy and an appreciation for serious issues in our community.

In addition, we offer a range of extracurricular activities, such as clubs, performing arts and athletics. They encourage students to discover their talents and express themselves in a variety of ways.

We know that healthy kids whose needs are being met perform better in the classroom, and are happier overall. Our school nurse and school counselor work together to address the students’ physical and psycho-emotional needs at every level.
